TC Line: Animals shouldn't take priority over people

You know I like dogs as much as anyone, but I do not see putting animals a top priority over humans. Let's take care of the humans first and then maybe the animals later.

Alleyways

You really think people are gonna come shopping downtown just because you dress up an alleyway? I don't think so.

Left turn signals

It's great that we have all these new left turns lights. That really is a fantastic addition to our town. But can we now have it so that more than two cars can turn left at time? That would be helpful.

Government shutdown

Well if we're not going to have federal government running, there's no need for the House Republicans to stick around. Hope they leave for good.

What an absolute disgrace the U.S. Congress is. If a normal person did their job this way, they would not have a job very long. I think that all the people in the U.S. should band together and ... recall the entire Congress.

Cory Gardner

In the Monday paper, the Daily Times-Call quoted our federal representative Cory Gardner as saying, "We need to do everything we can to avoid a shutdown." However, Rep. Gardner himself did nothing to prevent the shutdown. In fact, he was one of the contributors to it by continuing to vote for the ridiculous, hostage-taking tactic of the Republicans and the House of Representatives have been playing.

National park shutdown

Let's see. The mountains will still be there, the rivers will still be there, the trees will still be there, and the birds and the bees will still be there. The only thing missing will be the little guard shack collecting money from the public, so I don't see what the problem is with keeping the parks open. People just pack out your own trash.

Tea party

It's unfortunate that Ted Cruz and his tea party has never contributed to anything positive. He talked for over 21 hours and said absolutely nothing. All the while, we the taxpayers were paying for the lights to stay on in the Senate. Just one simple example about how it is all about the tea party and nothing about improving the good of the country.

Health care and food

Would somebody explain why congressional Republicans wage economic warfare on poor people who lack basic health care and access to affordable food, while their Wall Street buddies are banking billions?

Health care and food

Where do you find these people, and why do you waste editorial space with a woman asking why the governor is wearing crutches? I mean, come on, this is rather lame. You must have much more interesting philosophical statements to write about.

Boulder is pretty good at producing rock bands, and by "rock," we mean the in-your-face, guitar-heavy, leather-clad variety — you know, the good kind. For a prime example, look no farther than BANDITS. Full Story
